High-speed chase through Indy ends in overturned car in Greenwood

Two men were hospitalized Sunday after a high-speed chase with Indiana State Police ended in an overturned car in Greenwood.

Police tried to pull over a Ford Escort on I-465 on suspicion of car theft shortly after 11 a.m., according to a state police report.

As the troopers approached, the vehicle sped off taking the I-70 westbound exit to southbound Shadeland Avenue. A 19-minute pursuit, at times reaching speeds of 100 mph, later ended in Greenwood when the Ford Escort hit a ditch at the intersection of Five Points Road and Main Street and overturned in a field.

The driver was identified as Adam Omran, 25, Noblesville. The passenger was Nicholas Marker, 25, Indianapolis.

Omran was ejected from the car. Marker, who was wearing a seat belt, was not ejected. Both were taken to Eskenazi Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Omran faces two felony charges, resisting law enforcement and receiving stolen property, police said. He also faces two misdemeanor charges, criminal recklessness with a motor vehicle and aggressive driving.

Omran also has Hamilton County warrants on charges of possession of a controlled substance and paraphernalia.

Marker has warrants out of Marion County on charges of escape and battery. He was not charged in connection to the pursuit.
